Waterfowl habitat water control is a very important part of providing the best possible waterfowl habitat, and no other club in the area has a system like this.
WE HAVE Over 2 miles of levees THAT have been built tO allow water levels to be controlled in 5 impoundments totaling more than 100 acres.
These fields are all planted in corn, and plenty of grain is left standing to feed the waterfowl.
We also have enough water to cover over 110 acres with one foot of water.
With this type of water control, feed consumption can be controlled, and quality waterfowl hunting can be maintained throughout the season.
The pumps are used to circulate water which delays freezing as long as possible.
Water control also allows Pike's Hunting Club to offer some of the finest duck hunting you will find anywhere. Mallards, Pintail, Teal, Gadwall, Wood Ducks--we see 'em all!
